Mohan, this got me to tears. <<Kargil martyr's widow ready for more sacrifices Jhunjhunu, June 15. The widow of Nayab Subedar Mangej Singh, who died in Kargil fighting the intruders, wants to send all her three sons to the front to defend the country. "I will not hesitate to send all my three sons to the front and I shall be proud if they die defending the country like their father," Ms. Santosh Kanwar, widow of the Kargil hero, said in a letter to the Chief Minister. "I am proud of the martyrdom of my husband and I am confident that efforts of the Indian Army to recover his body will succeed," she said. The widow of Singh, a resident of Harnawa village in Nagaur district, has taken a vow that she would not take food before offering flowers to the body of her husband.

Pakistan says U.S. is biased on LoC Islamabad, June 15. Pakistan today stated that the United States was biased and prejudiced against Islamabad and had not asked India to respect the Line of Control (LoC). "Has the United States ever asked India to respect the LoC? I feel there is a bias and prejudice against Pakistan," the military spokesman, Brigadier Rashid Qureshi, was quoted as saying in Karachi. The Brigadier alleged that the Indian troops had struck a "threatening pose" and had moved some troops close to the Pakistani border near the town of Sialkot and the Indian Air Force had "activated" operational bases. "This is a threatening pose and an escalation of the threat," he stated in Karachi. For its part, Pakistan was only making "defensive" moves. He said the Pakistan Army, which had occupied strategic heights along the Kargil-Leh highway, would continue to "block" movement on it until India stopped firing across the LoC. "There is no question of leaving any part of the LoC without manning it," he stated. India, he alleged, was trying to push back Pakistani forces on their own side of the LoC. The Brigadier claimed that the Pakistan Army had "no contact or communication" with the mercenary militants fighting Indian troops in the Kargil-Dras- Batalik sectors. ''No doubt the Mujahideen are active....but the Mujahideen are their (New Delhi's) problem," he maintained. the-hindu.com
